	The barony has also been the site of a number of summer and recreational residences of the Anderman royal family since the dynasty’s founding. Neu Potsdam’s planning embodied the ideas of the Old Earth ‘Age of Enlightenment.’ Through a careful balance of architecture and landscape, Neu Potsdam was intended as “a picturesque, pastoral dream” which would remind its residents of their relationship with nature and reason.<ref>~~https~~:~~//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/~~Potsdam</ref>		The barony has also been the site of a number of summer and recreational residences of the Anderman royal family since the dynasty’s founding.

	In consequence, the barony is widely known for its palaces, its lakes, and its overall historical and cultural significance. Landmarks include the parks and palaces of Ohnebedenken, the Empire's largest Imperial Heritage Site, as well as other palaces such as the Friedrichhof hunting lodge and grounds, the eccentric Rose Bush Palace, and the elegant Schloss Anderman, used for less formal state occasions and as a getaway for Anderman newlyweds and those that need to leave behind for a while the stresses and intrigues of Andermani court society.

	Named for Eberhard Koebel, an Old Earth German Scout leader, the Andermani Scouts Association's Koebel Scout Reservation is among the oldest continuous Scouting and youth recreational facilities on the planet. The reservation makes up fully 15% of the entire land mass of the barony and sits astride both the Havel river and the Kaiserkrone Mountain Range. Hosting Scouts from across the Empire and beyond, the reservation is highly popular. Every year, each Anderman Scout who obtains the coveted highest rank of Pfadfinderinnen or Pfadfinder<ref>~~https~~:~~//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/~~Bund_der_Pfadfinderinnen_und_Pfadfinder</ref> is invited to a mass camporee on the reservation’s grounds. Freiherr Neu Potsdam is widely acknowledged to be one of the Empire’s strongest patrons of the youth movement and underwrites the entire event from the barony’s privy purse. More often than not, the Emperor himself will make a ‘surprise’ visit during the event to congratulate and encourage the youth who will make up the backbone of the Empire in the future.
